, THE BEAVER isone of the most industrious of animals.
'Ile toilswith loving carrion the construction of a home for his bunny.
Beavers mate for life, and, their homes
are built with an eye to permanent use;
When a man builds or buys a home, he, too, likes to
feel that it is permanent. For it is athome that the family develops roots
and friendships: Safeguarding the home for the fatuity is but one
.,of Sun•Life's many services for the security and protection
of'yourself and those you love. Let me tell'- you' about these services.
